    ..............not only that, will work in a booth at the shopping center 24 hours per day, no food, nor pay needed, no license needed because there are no laws against it and no union to support.

    The perfect future optician...........................

    And furthermore, no ABO testing or CE credits and no pesky licensing/registration as long as you don't put wheels on it. Just haul it into the shop every 3000 customers for an oil change.

    It's a brave new world.

    As President, I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science and engineering. And I also want to keep an eye on those robots, in case they try anything.

    Hey Dick, ...............there is some places for rent at the Coastland shopping center in Naples. We could rent a double booth on the middle lane, all glassed in so that the public could see the action, and we would be on TV nationwide instantly. We get one or two of them employees.

    We could also call, and advertise the shop as ROBOPTICS.
    Start of a new national chain.
